About the Book

This is a true story! Well, I admit, I've embellished it somewhat, but it is based on the real personality and mishaps of a child while growing up. She was notoriously clumsy! When she asked her parents if she could take ballet lessons, they were doubtful, but she learned through the discipline of this classic dance to overcome both physical and emotional obstacles. The story has a happy ending. Of course!
